Casa de les Punxes Direct Entry in Barcelona

Visit: Casa de les Punxes, Av. Diagonal 420, 08037 Barcelona Spain

Explore the fascinating history of the Casa de les Punxes on an audio-guided multi-sensory tour, learn about one of the great figures of Catalan modernism - Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and be surprised by the legend of Saint George - the source of inspiration for the great modernist architects. Come and visit one of the most quintessential monuments of Catalan modernism! Finish your tour with a taste of Iberian Ham and cheeses from la Cerdanya at Matalaranya, our appetizer Bar.

The spectacular building - revolutionary in both artistic and technical terms - is one of the most iconic structures in Barcelona and an important key to understanding Catalan modernism. In 1975, it was given National Historic Landmark status due to its enormous historical, heritage and architectural value. 

On a privileged site in an area popularly known as the ‘Golden Square’ (Quadrat d’Or) in the l’Eixample district of Barcelona, it stands on a triangular city block of its own. It is the only modernist building in Barcelona in such a unique location.

Hiding in the very centre of Barcelona, the enigmatic and rather secret roof terrace is one of the most impressive spaces of Casa de les Punxes.
